Anya

Anya harshly bit the inside of her lip as she walked, feeling herself become more and more tense as she took every step. What would happen if she did find him? What would she say or do then? She couldn't just apologise for shouting at him, not when he had essentially taken away her humility from her. She just needed to be calm and say what was going through her head, just without getting Frigus wound up- thats if she found him at least. Maybe she wouldn't, but she was going to try, for her own sake. The town was dark but there were a few lanterns around, lightening the darkest corners. She walked over and picked one up, holding it with two fingers in-front of her, brightening her way. "Frigus?" She called in a low tone so that she didn't wake the towns folk. She knew he could hear her, so she figured that it didn't really matter how loud she was, just as long as he could hear her. "You couldn't have gotten that far..." She whispered softly to herself as she glanced around the streets, and out into the woods. She had a feeling he would have flead to somewhere sheltered, and the woods were just that.

"Miss Anya?" She heard a voice behind her, one that sounded a little disappointed. She turned to see one of the off duty guards looking down at her, "Whatever are you doing out here? Are you not meant to be inside? Do you know how dangerous it is out here at night? There are thieves and crooks out at this ti-" He paused and looked around, "Where are your guards?" Anya looked nervous, like she had been doing something wrong. Well, she had. She was out, in the middle of the night, without her guards. "I-i... " She stammered as she put her hand on her arm to cover the wound. "I snuck out..." She babbled as she looked around before her gaze landed on the ground. "Anya, you're not a child anymore. You need to grow up and fast because soon enough you'll be seeing bachelors." He said firmly. Anya took a breath in and offered a sweet smile. "I know... I'm sorry. I'll go back now, just promise not to tell my father?" Anya pleaded with a pout. "Ugh, alright, fine, just don't wait around." The guard replied with a soft smile to show his truth before walking off.

Alright. She thought, like she was summoning courage. Into the woods. Anya looked around the area to make sure the guard was gone before continuing through the town and onto a large dirt track that lead to the woods. "F... Frigus?" She said a little louder, not really wanting to go into the woods. "It's Anya!" She said a little louder before looking worried that she was talking into the abyss. "If you're in the area can you say something... Im feeling a little silly right now." She prompted with a quiet laugh. She looked to realise that she was clinging onto her injured arm with her other hand, so swiftly let go. She could see the very tip of the bright yellow sun peering over the horizon, and started to feel a little more worried.

Anya

Anya stood for a few moments before deciding to leave. If he didn't want to help her, then why should she bother. Well thats what her thoughts were until she heared her name being spoken hesitantly. She paused and looked behind her, to see a giant wolf standing in the trees. She looked more nervous than frightened for a moment then managed noricd its eyes- the very same ones as Frigus, thats when she started to be a little calmer. She furrowed her brows slightly as be blurted out his apology before trying- and failing -to give her signature 'It's fine' smile. "I shouldn't hand jumped to such a conclusion so quickly... you don't seem like the kind of person who would purposely do this sort of thing to someone. I'm sorry, I just had so much going in in my head in the moment and then you- uh... I just worried for my future. I've come to the conclusion that it's happened to other people in the past so if they could deal with it, then surely I could as well. Right?" She asked, attempting to sound relatively upbeat, for the situation she was in. Anya had always been good at that, making a smile in the worst of times.

"Frigus... I did come to ask for your presence. Or in other words, help. The truth is, I'm a little... Uhm... scared. I'm scared and I don't know what to do, so if you have it in you to help me out for a few days, while I understand what is going to happen to me, I would consider letting you continue live your life as it is." Anya murmured. Even if she wanted to get some sort of revenge on him, how? If she went back and explained, she simply knew she'd be be headed. She didn't want him to be uncomfortable or scared around her, but she equally needed to feel that way around him. She didn't think that she could ever be scared of him, not after how sweet he had been to her before. This was a set back, but if she needed himnti be around, they both needed to be happy. She didn't blame him for running off, she understood why. It was a full moon in the night and from what she had gathered, it made him a lot more emotional. If he had told her what would happen right away, one they met, she knew she would have ran to tell someone, ans essentially expose him. "Uh... Your fur is pretty." She pulled out of the blue, "it matches your eyes." Anya noted before giving a wonky smile.

The young woman looked a little worried at Frigus's s response to her first statement."How could this be amplified as an adult? Would it just be easier the younger you were the first time?" She questioned in a curious manner. "Frigus, is there a way that we can stop all of this from happening? The whole werewolf thing? Is there a way for me to just... Stay as I am?" She asked hesitantly. "I know its not the best life in thee world, but if I leave, that messes things up for my whole kingdom. And other kingdoms for that matter." She voiced with a rather regal look on ger face. While she didn't like it very much, this was her duty and there wasn't an awful lot she could do about it. She could tell that her next words got a little bit under his skin, nit that she had meant it to though. "Frigus, even if it was a mistake, it still happened. You still managed to take my humanity without even trying, and you think you could get away with it without a harsh telling off? That's where you're wrong. I may not look it, but I can be really quite scaringly scary." Anya warned him, but her voice had become a little more jokey. Jokes. They were always a way -not a good one though- to fix what you said. She looked down at the ground as she pondered on what to say ir do next. When he mentioned that she was thinking to make him a rug, Anya really looked quite flustered before realising he was joking and she shook her head with a thin smile before resting a hand on her chin, "You know... I wasn't thinking about that, but now that you mentioned it... It's still a no from me." She finished with a gentle laugh, "you look really quiet majestic... Or is powerful the word? With you coat. It would have no place on a wall." She decided with a firm smile. When Frigus mentioned a cabin, she looked around as though she were expecting an abundance of guards marching towards them. "Anywhere but here is great." She noted, "I'll come if you let me, but you'll have to go slowly for me... I'm not too much of a walker believe it or not." Anya shrugged before giving a quiet smile.

(sorry, this one is short!)

Anya

Anya seemed s little relieved that he seemed to be becoming his normal, friendly self, but she knew her next words wouldn't have helped. She still managed to find a way to be irritated by him though, feeling lectured. "No Frigus don't do that." She folded her arms and her previously light expression became really quite scolding, "Don't give me the whole royalty thing, I don't care about that. My issue is that if I were to see my family again, it'd most likely be with a noose around my neck. I know this isn't completely your fault but it wasn't a little mistake, was it?" She spat sharply. She started biting down on the inside of her lip. At some point this had been a coping mechanism, but not a good one because she felt her eyes glaze over before using the back of her cuff to stop any tears falling. "Don't tell me that you've lost your whole life because of this? All I need was a little of your time and I'll be out of your hair. Hell, I don't even think I need your time. I can figure it out from here." Anya said firmly, holding her own hands to keep as still as possible.

Anya looked him up and down for a moment. She looked a little disgusted and enraged at the same time. "I'm sorry I was checking on you. That was such a mistake." She said sarcastically before pointing to the still setting moon, "And I'm sorry that was out because I can control that." Anya stated blankly at him for a moment, knowing her poor choice of wording. She knew for a fact she wouldn't have been able to physically punish him if she wanted to, but she surposed that would be the same as any living being. She simply didn't have it in her. She was messing around at first but it seemed to really get to Frigus. She looked down for a moment, realising her choice of wording was rather poor so she just let him speak. "No Frigus, you're right. I would have probably freaked out anyway so you dis the right thing." She noted at his next statement, feeling herself become more and more tense. She wasn't going to argue him any more. His points were as good if not better than any of hers so there ess no point in arguing.

She felt herself becoming nervous as he started growing st her, feeling her breath become shallow. "You shouldn't, you hsve no reason to trust me." Anya paused, looking down, "but I promise I wasn't pretending. If I was I would have stopped very quickly because there's not many people willing to satisfy my curiosity.

Once Frigus got to her side, she looked a little awkward at first but nodded and clambered swiftly onto his back. She was a little worried that she'd be too heavy, but decided he would tell her if she was. She smiled quietly once she was on, letting her hands entwine in his fur gently. "Uhm.... Thank you?" She said thoughtfully.

Anya

She knew she wasn't making things easy for themselves. There was so much going through her head that she couldn't decide if she should be angry, sarcastic, rude, worried or sad. Neither of them would do but unfortunately, she had basically expressed all of then in one go. She wanted to take back some of the things she spat at him, but they were already said and done. She furrowed her brows slightly before taking a small step back the way. "I.... That came out before I could think." She murmured as she looked to the side. "That was rude of me. I know its not your fault." She stated quietly. She could see his fangs glistening in the ever growing lightly, of which probably made her s little bit more nervous than she should be. She didn't expect him to hurt her, not purposefully, but she supposed if she pushed him to it, he wouldn't hold back all that well. "I- uh-um...Sorry..." She blabbered as she chewed on the inside of her lip nervous of his silence. Anya soon decided that if she wasn't being shouted at, then it couldn't be all that bad. Assuming he wasn't raging inside.

Anya held on tightly to Frigus's soft fur, flopping around for a little bit before finding her balance and sitting stable on his back. She found the concept of riding a wolf odd. She had been so used to horses all her life, that this wouldn't have been possible. For Anya, this was like a fairytale. She took a glance behind her as she looked at the entrance of the woodland, getting further and further away. Frigus seemed to be going faster than any horse she had ridden, and he probably was. A normal wolf is stunningly fast, so a human sized one must be even faster. It took her by surprise that she even managed to stay on. As Frigus slowly started slowing down, she let her core relax a little, glancing around to see this said cabin. Soon enough, they arrived at an abundance of rubble. "Here we are... it's not much but... its something." Frigus informed her. She looked around until she spotted the few walls and a roof, figuring out that's where they'd be staying.

Anya slowly slid off his back and patted down her dress, giving an inward smile. "Its no palace." She noted as she looked around the small clearing under the roof, "but like you said, it's something." She noted with a gentle nod in thanks for bringing her. She spotted the hides neatly in the corner before looking at Frigus with a tilted head. "Are these yours?" She asked quietly.
